The network promises to be about self-empowerment and ways to better and make your life even better and live life to it's fullest potential! Gotta luv that!!

Yesterday Raz B mentioned Rihanna on twitter.. something to the effect that he didn't understand how men like Eric Benet or Chris Brown could disrespect women like Halle Berry and Rihanna.(Now that was a verbal shot fired at Chris Brown).

Chris Brown responded and he went IN on RazB! Now... it took a turn when Raz B's bro Ricky Romance actually threatened the life of Chris Brown.. vid below:

This is what happens when twitter goes terribly wrong. Just buffoonery!

Disgraced financier Bernard Madoff's eldest son Mark Madoff hung himself by a dog leash in his apartment Saturday, exactly two years after his father's arrest in a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme. All the while, his 2 year son was in the apartment. SMH

Well just as soon as folks were getting over the shock that Kim Kardashian was dating Halle Berry's ex Gabriel Aubry who is white, Kim has decided to move on to someone more to her taste. Kim is now with New Jersey Nets baller Kris Humphries.

Sources are claiming that Kim Kardashian is pregnant by none other than Kanye West. Currently Kim has been seen out and about with Halle Berry's baby daddy Gabriel Aubry.. however folks say it isn't his baby.. it's Kanye West's who has been seeing Kim on and off throughout the years.

Now this is interesting, because the first breakup she had with Reggie Bush, folks were claiming that she had a fling with Kanye and Reggie found out. Basically both supposedly cheated.

Jay Z's highly anticipated new book "Decoded" is available now in stores or for download! A must read!

The Barnes & Noble Review

Decoded [is] an unexpected and welcome gift. At over three hundred pages, it is a multimedia, multi-genre extravaganza: part memoir, part coffee table book, part annotated compendium of lyrics, part polemic in the defense of hip hop's poesy. Jay-Z (with the aid of the respected hip-hop journalist dream hampton) intersperses personal anecdotes, rhetorical broadsides, and deep reflections with rich images and typography. From Andy Warhol's striking "Rorschach" on the book's front cover to the interior art, which ranges from Michelangelo's "Pietà" to a vintage Little Orphan Annie button, the book is a visual feast.

Side Note: It is utterly ridiculous that Brandy was voted off. Bristol Palin does not belong in the finals... if she were honest with herself she would admit that and step aside! Just makes the show look rigged or fixed!!

Sources are saying that Eva Longoria and her NBA baller Tony Parker are splitting. Claims that Tony Parker has filed for divorce have not yet been proven, a court in their county stated that no such sealed document is there. Eva Longoria herself has denied that Tony has filed for divorce, however folks are saying that Eva may be filing for divorce this week due to being hit with news that Tony may have been cheating on her...

Congrats to Prince William and Kate Middleton! After dating for several years and even going through a very public brief break-up, they are now engaged!

Prince William popped the question to girlfriend Kate Middleton, with the blue sapphire and diamond ring that his father Charles, the Prince of Wales, gave to Diana, Princess of Wales, back in February 1981.

Princess Diana chose the ring from a selection presented to her by jewelers Garrard.

Royal officials officially announced Tuesday that Prince William would wed Middleton.

A spokesperson for Prince Charles' said the heir to the British throne is "delighted to announce the engagement of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton."

The palace says they got engaged last month during a vacation in Kenya. The couple both of whom are 28, are expected to marry next spring or summer in London.

Kanye West was obviously very pissed at NBC's Today Show after the way they handled his appearance on the program where he just wanted to apologize to President Bush and keep it moving. Matt Lauer and NBC of course had other ideas... they were going to milk his appearance as much as they could and Kanye West called them out on it!

Due to that situation, Kanye West has decided not to perform as scheduled on an upcoming "Today Show" appearance.

Side Note: Bush who is making the media rounds due to the release of his highly anticipated memoir "Decision Points", which hit stands yesterday, made an appearance on Oprah's Tuesday show. He also had a 1 hour interview with Matt Lauer on Monday evening on NBC.

Kanye West stopped by the Today Show and spoke with Matt Lauer. He apologized to President Bush for his ill timing comment he made during a live Katrina Relief Fund telecast, in which he said "President Bush doesn't care about black people".

President Bush was shown a clip of Kanye's apology and responded.

Side Note: Kanye West was definitely wrong for blurting out his comment live on air during a telecast that was there to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. It was just uncouth. That's what he should apologize for. President Bush seems sincere to some degree, however as we remember the horrific images of the victims brown and black faces, suffering in the heat, no water, no food, elderly with no medication, children with no milk, Americans dying in the streets... It's a little hard to grasp that if it had been a majority of white faces in despair, the same fate would have been bestowed onto them.

Update: Kanye West took to twitter after the Today Show and basically stated he was pissed at Matt Lauer's handling of his appearance. He stated he wanted to make an sincere apology to President Bush, yet as he was speaking he could hear MTV audio and criticized the motive behind Matt's questions.... Anywho.. to read the actual rant.. just check Kanye's twitter @KanyeWest.

When Kim and Reggie broke up for a second time months ago and Kim started dating another NFL player, Austin Miles (currently they are no longer an item) folks kinda wondered.. what did Reggie think about it?

Well on last night's episode of the hit reality series "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" we all found out! In two different phone convos we found out that tidbit of info as well as the fact that it was Reggie who first broke up with Kim!

So.. Was Kim right to put Reggie on blast with the cameras rolling? Watch below:

Full Episode Below:

Side Note:

It's obvious that both Kim and Reggie still care for one another, but as it happens in every relationship, you go through s**t, but eventually get back together. In addition, if folks don't care for one another, they don't become jealous or continuously talk and text one another.

Rapper T.I who was recently arrested along with his wife Tiny for having an uncontrolled substance, when they were stopped by police in Los Angeles, has been ordered by a judge to report back to prison for 11 months!

T.I was on probation for weapons charges... so it was just DUMB all around for him to get caught doing some DUMB ish as this.

However on another note... It just seems that Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and the lot of them get off extremely easy for such behavior. Justice is definitely NOT blind!

Courtney Cox and her hubby David Arquette have decided to seperate and reevaluate their marriage. Courtney and David have always seemed to have a happy and normal marriage in the craziness of hollywood. Hopefully they can work it out. They both are set to reprise their roles in the movie franchise where they first met,"Scream 4" is set to release next year.Details of their seperation below:

Via People

After 11 years of marriage, Courteney Cox and David Arquette acknowledge they've hit more than a few rough patches.

Now the Hollywood pair, who are parents to 6-year-old daughter Coco, have "agreed to a trial separation that dates back for some time," they say in a statement.

"The reason for this separation is to better understand ourselves and the qualities we need in a partner and for our marriage," they say. "We remain best friends and responsible parents to our daughter and we still love each other deeply. As we go though this process we are determined to use kindness and understanding to get through this together."

They add: "We are comfortable with the boundaries that we have established for each other during this separation and we hope that our friends, family, fans and the media also show us respect, dignity, understanding and love at this time as well."

Cox, 46, and Arquette, 39, met in 1996 while filming Scream and were married three years later in San Francisco. Their daughter was born in 2004.

Just last summer In Style magazine reported that Cox showed up for an interview without her wedding ring and candidly said, "We've done couples therapy in the past."

"We're not lazy about our marriage," Cox said in the August issue. "We have the same arguments we've had for years."

After selling over 40 Million albums, Toni Braxton has filed bankruptcy for a 2nd time. Debt could be upwards of $50 Million. Details below:

Via HP:

Toni Braxton has filed for bankruptcy a second time, citing millions of dollars in debt and financial problems exacerbated by a heart condition that forced her to cancel a series of Las Vegas shows.

The filing will likely result in the six-time Grammy Award winner having to sell some of her assets to pay off debts listed in court records as ranging between $10 million and $50 million.

Her attorney, Debra Grassgreen, said in a statement the filing will allow Braxton to pay off tax debts, sell heavily indebted property in Atlanta and still care for her children.

The singer and her company Liberty Entertainment filed for bankruptcy Sept. 30, court records show. The filing was first reported Thursday by celebrity website TMZ.

"This was a very difficult decision for Ms. Braxton," Grassgreen said. "However, after months of trying to work out an acceptable arrangement with her principal creditors, she determined that the only way to assure that she could meet her tax obligations and provide for her two small children was to commence these bankruptcy cases."

Braxton has assets worth up to $10 million, her filing states.

She previously filed for bankruptcy in 1998.

Grassgreen's statement said Braxton is currently in good health.

Toni Braxton sued Lloyd's of London, which had insured her for the Las Vegas performances in case they had to be canceled. The insurer denied her claim, stating she had a pre-existing condition, and court records show the case was dismissed on Sept. 20.

Braxton's spokeswoman Jennifer Mercer said the case was "settled to the satisfaction of all parties."

Grassgreen said the bankruptcy will not prevent Braxton from future performances.

Rihanna and her sexy boo Matt Kemp were spotted in Paris as they attended the Miu Miu Ready To Wear Spring/Summer 2011 fashion show in Paris.

Side Note: Luv the dress, but hate the hair (or rather the hair color) & shoes!! Rihanna needs to stop trying to duplicate her BFF Katy Perry!! This fashion mess must stop! Rihanna used to be known for her fierce style.... however lately... just no! That includes her music. What in the world is she doing to her music???!! "Take A Bow", "Rehab", heck even "Rude Boy"..... that's Rihanna. This audio trash she's putting out lately is garbage. Epic fail!

Sanchez was being interviewed on comedian Pete Dominick's XM Sirius Radio show when the conversation went off the rails.

It started relatively innocently, with Sanchez expressing irritation at being lumped in with other Hispanic TV journalists by a CNN boss. Racist attitudes aren't rooted on the political right, he added, but also extend to ``elite, Northeast establishment liberals.''

``Deep down, when they look at a guy like me, they see a guy automatically who belongs in the second tier, and not the top tier,'' Sanchez continued. Then he said: ``I think to some extent Jon Stewart and [Comedy Central comic Stephen] Colbert are the same way. I think Jon Stewart's a bigot.''

How's that? asked the puzzled Dominick. ``I think he looks at the world through his mom, who was a school teacher, and his dad, who was a physicist or something like that,'' replied Sanchez, speaking of Stewart. ``Great, I'm so happy that he grew up in a suburban middle class New Jersey home with everything you could ever imagine.''

``What group is he bigoted towards?'' pressed Dominick.

``Everybody else who's not like him. Look at his show, I mean, what does he surround himself with?'' said Sanchez. When Dominick seemed surprised that Sanchez could level a charge of bigotry against Jews, who themselves have been subjected to discrimination, Sanchez dismissed the idea.

``I'm telling you that everybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart, and a lot of people who run all the other networks are a lot like Stewart, and to imply that somehow they, the people in this country who are Jewish, are an oppressed minority?'' Sanchez said, then added with sarcastic emphasis: ``Yeah.''

Transcripts and audio clips of the exchange began popping up on the Internet Friday morning, and at 6 p.m. CNN issued its terse statement dismissing him. Sanchez, a wildly popular if controversial anchor at WSVN-Fox 7 during the 1990s, joined CNN in 2004 after bombing first as an MSNBC anchor and then as a talk-show host on WTVJ-NBC 6.

Sarah Palin had the nerve to come around sane americans and actually thought she wouldn't be called out for ignorant rhetoric. Well she got exactly what she deserved when she was on Monday Night' Dancing With The Stars, where she was rooting for her daughter Bristol.

Bishop Eddie Long is scheduled to speak this morning at 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, during both services. At 10am, Bishop Eddie Long is expected to give a live press conference.
